Who issues the permit for an event in Brussels?

To the municipality where the truck will stand, because each of the nineteen municipalities handles the use of public space itself. Add our technical sheet to the application. If the truck stands on private ground, no permit is needed.

Can the food truck stand in the inner courtyard of our office building?

If the entrance gate is wide and high enough, certainly. We ask for the gate’s dimensions and a photo of the courtyard. If the passage is too tight, we switch to the wood-fired oven under a tent, which fits through a narrower entrance.

How long does it take before the truck is ready to bake?

Allow an hour and a half of heating time: the wood-fired oven simply needs that long to reach full heat. In Brussels we plan the drive extra generously because of the traffic, so we are never short of time.

Is the truck suitable for a school fête with lots of children?

Yes. The oven is shielded inside the truck, so children can watch safely without getting near the fire. We tailor the pizzas to young eaters and keep the pace high during busy moments.

Can the truck stand in a Brussels park?

Only with permission from the competent municipality or the park’s manager. We provide all the technical details; the organiser requests the authorisation. Because the truck is self-sufficient, no water or electricity is needed in the park.

Pizza food truck by Prestigio in Brussels

Hire a pizza food truck in the Brussels-Capital Region

In a city where every square metre counts, a pizza food truck has to be placed smartly. In a company car park, a schoolyard or a marked-off corner of a park, it becomes the heart of your event.

Placement checked in advance

Trams, narrow streets and parked cars make Brussels challenging. We go through the route and the pitch with photos before we commit to anything.

Sheet for the municipality

A spot on public land needs a permit from the municipality. You simply attach our technical sheet to the file.

Works without connections

Water tank, cooling, worktops and a wood supply all come aboard. In the middle of a park or in a car park without sockets, it just keeps going.

Which Brussels spots can handle a truck

Not every street in the region suits a food truck, and we would rather say so honestly up front. The best places are spacious and easy to reach: the car park or inner courtyard of an office building, the grounds of a school or sports club, a square closed off for a neighbourhood party. There the truck stands stable and visible without getting in the way of traffic.

In the green municipalities on the edge, such as the Woluwes, Auderghem or Uccle, there are also private grounds where a truck can drive in easily. In the dense nineteenth-century districts around the centre that works less often. There we sometimes recommend the compact wood-fired oven set-up in a tent, which fits through a narrower passage.

Public land: the permit and the planning

If the truck is going on a street, a square or in a park, a permit to use public space is required. Each of the nineteen municipalities handles that application itself, and the organiser submits it. Attach our sheet: dimensions and weight, exactly what a Brussels municipal office wants to see. On private ground, such as a company site or school grounds, no permit is needed.

We also plan the journey carefully. The region lies entirely within the low-emission zone, and rush hour can slow a drive through the city considerably. We therefore leave early and reach the site around 90 minutes before the first order, so the oven is at temperature when your guests arrive.

Company parties and neighbourhood events at speed

Brussels company events are often big and tightly timed: a lunch for an entire department, a summer drink after work, a family day with children too. The truck can handle such a flow because we organise the serving beforehand. Once the guest count passes 150, a second baking station joins in, so waiting times stay short.

At a neighbourhood party or school fête the truck also acts as a meeting place. Parents, neighbours and teachers gather around the oven by themselves. We then keep the menu short and recognisable, with a few vegetarian options and, on request, gluten-free or vegan pizzas. After a service of about up to two and a half hours we return the spot in perfect order.
